Bill and I have some VERY exciting news! We have been accepted as a CrossFit Kids affiliate! We are still waiting for all the formalities to go through, but yesterday we received an email from the CrossFit Kids camp telling us the good news.
We held a free kids fitness class yesterday, and it was an absolute BLASTY. We had 13 kids join us for a fun 45 minute workout. We started by getting warmed up, then we learned about the squat. The kids workout was:
AMRAP in 10:00 of:
run the length of the gym & back
5 squats
bear crawl the length of the gym & back
5 squats
All of our participants did a fantastic job! Everyone did so well in fact, that we got to play a round of CrossFit tag at the end of class.
Thank you to everyone for helping us spread the word about our Kids program, and for trusting me with your children.
At the end of class, all the kids were sitting down having a drink, and I asked them what they learned today about the squat. Rowan's answer was, "Squats make our heads hot". Yes Rowan....they certainly do.
